About a year ago I fell in love with the felt monsters that Jen shared on her blog Nifty Thrifty & Thriving (the pictures of which were pinned on a Flannel Friday Pinterest board), and new that my next Halloween program was going to revolve around monsters just so that I could make one! It was tough decision on which one to go for, but I'm a sucker for smiley creatures!
So far there is no rhyme attached to little fellow-who-deserves-a-name. All the children will have to do is decorate him with his polka dots, extra eyes and teeth to make a not-so-scary monster. The toddlers will love it!

My fellow Children's Librarian said that all he had needed was a pair of overalls and goggles and he could become a Despicable Me minion! Even he could have his very own Halloween costume! I'm curious to see how many children will see the similarity on Monday.

Yay! My little ones love this activity, and the song/rhyme is uber cute!I just might have to use him for my upcoming Halloween storytime again! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI do something similar with preschool storytime. I hand polka Idots out to the children. I have a dry erase dice that I put the names of the colors on. I roll the dice and whatever color it lands is the color of spots the children will come up to the board and put on the monster.
